The Philadelphia Phillies have less than three days until the non-waiver trade deadline and their last opportunity to move players prior to this upcoming offseason—not including any waiver deals in August.
The Phillies made one midseason move last week when, according to Jeff Passan on Yahoo! Sports, the team reached a six-year deal worth nearly $59 million with Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez.
Any additional moves, however, could involve prospects either joining or leaving their minor league system.
A new set of prospect rankings was also released this past week when MLB.com’s 2013 Prospect Watch was updated to include players from the June draft.
These rankings feature just two changes from last week’s rankings, but several players have made either major moves up or down since their preseason rankings.
Which players are new to the top-10? Will any new players be added to this list following the non-waiver trade deadline? How did the current list of top-10 prospects fare this past week?
Let’s take a look at whose stock is up and whose is down following Week 17.
